Historic Annapolis’s Waterfront Warehouse at 4 Pinkney Street is a rare surviving example of a small Annapolis warehouse from the 1700s. It was likely built by brothers George and John Barber to house goods to be sold at their nearby store. Historic Annapolis, Inc., proposed a plan in 1967 that enabled the State of Maryland, through the Maryland Historical Trust, to acquire and restore this historic warehouse.
Within the warehouse, visitors will discover a model of our city, circa 1700s, featuring a bird’s-eye view of the historic landscape at that time.
The Waterfront Warehouse is free to the public and open daily from March to December, weather permitting. Come and visit us! We’re located just steps from City Dock’s market space.
